The Sun Rises in the West

The sun rises in the East and sets in the West, right? That’s just a fact that pretty much everyone accepts. And because this is a scientifically proven fact, most people would be surprised if you tried to convince them that you saw the sunrise in the West.

But according to this original poster and the three different compasses they checked, that’s exactly what happened on that peculiar day! Do you think the OP somehow misunderstood and checked three wrong compasses? Or is it possible they were the only witness to something really strange?
